A Punta Gorda man has been arrested in the burglaries of a Charlotte County church and an auto parts store. Officers say 19-year-old Nathaniel Kruger broke into Eastside Baptist Church on Gulf Boulevard on January 19th and M-S-B Auto Parts on Dalewood the following night. Two other Punta Gorda teens have already been arrested in connection with the church breakin, during which investigators say over four thousand dollars worth of electronics were stolen and a fire extinguisher discharged in the church library.
